Susan Michaels was once the hottest reporter on the Beltway Beat until a major scandal ruined her life and left her writing stories about alien babies and Elvis sightings. Life as she once knew it is over, or so she thinks until she gets a lead on the biggest story in town: The Seattle Slayer. She heads to the local animal shelter, expecting a tip on the latest rash of killings. Instead, she gets a story about the mayor feeding citizens to a ring of vampires… yeah. Just another day in her life.
Then she gets talked into adopting a cat she’s allergic to. Her first thought is to neuter the cat. But when he turns out to be a gorgeous shapeshifting man who claims to be an immortal vampire slayer she thinks: not so fast. Next thought: seek professional help.
Susan doesn’t know what to believe, but as she’s drawn into a paranormal world, she comes to realize that the story that could bring her credibility is too unbelievable to expose. Now it’s no longer a question of bringing the truth to her readers, it’s a matter of saving lives and souls, and her only ally is a man she’s allergic to. In the world of the Dark-Hunters, it’s always dangerous. But never more so than when one very human woman can shatter their entire world with just one story. The only question is… will she? Dark Side of the Moon is full of Sherrilyn Kenyon’s trademark sexy humor and breathtaking imagination
Dopo quasi un anno da “Unleash the Night” ho ripreso in mano un romanzo della Kenyon, e non so se a causa di questa lunga pausa, o perchè questo libro si discosta un po’ dai precedenti, ma non ho ritrovato lo stesso affascinante incantesimo che mi aveva conquistato negli altri.
Dark Side of the Moon sembra quasi un romanzo di passaggio, ci presenta nuovi personaggi dimenticando quasi i vecchi, e sembra delineare una svolta decisiva che riguarderà in futuro Acheron.
Il mio giudizio questa volta è piuttosto tiepido, i protagonisti di questo romanzo non mi hanno convinto molto, anche il fatto che Susan è allergica ai gatti e che Ravyn E’ un gatto… secondo me avrebbe potuto essere sviluppato con un po’ più del tipico humor della Kenyon.
Speriamo che i prossimi siano migliori, e speriamo di rivedere in azione i “cari vecchi” Dark Hunters.
rating : 3/5
